Section 001
Week 9
The report
"Does 'Tiger Parenting' Exist?", by Su Yeong Kim, examines the four
profiles of Chinese parenting. The report includes a current study and details
the methods used. Kim presents that supportive parenting as better than tiger
parenting.
Reading
this report was quite nostalgic for me because I never really thought about my
upbringing. Now that I think about it, I believe I also had tiger parents. As I
read through the report, I noticed characteristics that were applied by my
parents in my childhood such as shaming.
I am
grateful for the tiger parenting that I had because it allowed me to grow up
into the person I am today. Whether it is proven as good or bad, I believe
tiger parenting was effective because it got me to where I am now. I am proud of my perception of academia and family values.
I fear that
there is a decrease in tiger parents over time. I wish to replicate many
characteristics of parenting that my parents used. How is that possible?
Should tiger parenting be replaced by supportive parenting?
